The lord subramanyar who got all the benefits mentioned in the finale lines

The lord subramanyar who got all the benefits mentioned in the finale lines

 

I can think of the essence of the names:

 

Those who say the 16 names, will when beginning to study, during wedding, while going to a place, while leaving a place, during disputes, and in all activities –not face any obstacles. This is the benefit of chanting these names. For each of these, we can see that there is a proof in the story of lord subramanyar.

 

Beginning to study (vidyarambe). For the lord who emerged from the knowledge eye of the lord Siva, there is no need to begin any education from the alphabets. He himself posed as the embodiment of the one letter, and preached it to his father. Therefore, in his case, the initiation to the knowledge of the self, by becoming a renunciant is the beginning to study. The lord vigneswarar was the cause for him to become a renunciant, where he won the competition for the fruit.

 

Vivahe: the matter regarding wedding with valli. In this we saw already that the elder brother played a key role.

 

Thus, he was key for both the wedding and renunciation of his younger brother. He made his brother a renunciation when he was a child and later made him a householder when he was a youth. He made his great devotee, auvaiyar in to a old lady when she was young as an woman eligible for wedding. The miracles of the lord subramanyar, who we normally pray to as a young renunciant, are indeed funny.

 

Pravese: for the ascent of the lord subramanyar in the world the reason was that the lord vigneswarar was disqualified to kill the demon surapadma as per his boon. That is he was the negative reason for the birth of lord subramanyar.

 

Nirgame: pravesam means to enter into a place. Nirgame means to leave a place. After the lord vigneswarar helped conduct the wedding with valli, the lord subramanyar left from the world he was living in and went to his daily abode, the skanda loka. He left with both his consorts. Before the story of valli, the wedding with devasena was over.

 

There are two reasons for his incarnation on earth. One to kill the sura, and another to marry the two daughters of his uncle lord Vishnu, of which one was brought up as the daughter of the king of the angels and another as the daughter of the hunter king.

 

First he went beyond thiruchendur to the ocean and killed the sura. Afterwards he went to the thiruparankundram and got married to devasena. When he was living there with her, sage narada came and narrated to him how in chittur the girl valli is always longing in love for him. Therefore, in the temple in thiruparankundram the lord is not posing together with valli and devasena but devasena on one side and instead of valli, sage narada on the other side, who came as the messenger. In order to shower the blessing of the supreme lord on the human form, the sage narada directed the lord subramanyar towards valli. Therefore, the lord who was the teacher to even lord Siva, has given a place to sage narada in his temple.

 

Upon the message of narada, he went tried to entice valli in various forms (such as a hunter, singer, and a big tree), and finally with the blessings of his elder brother he married valli. After that to bestow the divine auspicious of his form with both consorts, representing knowledge and liberation on earth, he spent a few days like a honey moon at thiruttani. After that he went to his skanda loka. That is nirgamam. The valli wedding laid the first steps for that. With that the second purpose of the incarnation was also fulfilled.

 

The person who laid the step for valli's wedding was the lord vigneswarar who came as the elephant. Therefore, he has helped the lord subramanyar to move from our world to his skanda loka.

 

Sangrame: sangramam means fight, war. "sankrama sikavala" comes in the kandaranuputi. The commander-in-chief lord Subramanyar showed his valor during the war with the sura. He would have definited performed the prayer to the lord vigneswarar. Why I say so, is because the father who did not perform prayer to the vigneswarar while leaving for the burning of the three worlds, and the mother who did not also perform when leaving for the elimination of the bandasura, all face obstacles, and they overcame these only after performing the prayer to the lord vigneswarar. So the younger brother would have in anticipation performed the prayer to the lord vigneswarar and only left for the war? Not just that. Before leaving for the elimination of the sura, he had just lost in the competition for the fruit. He became a renunciant because of the dejection from the loss. Did he win in that renunciant life? i.e. did it stay for some time. Mother and father came and requested and he was reminded about his main reason for the incarnation, which was to eliminate the sura. He had to relinquish the renunciation and go to war. Therfore, realizing that he can succeed only with his elder brother's blessing, he would have definitely prayed to the lord vigneswarar and then only left.

 

Sarva karyeshu: it was not successful when he left for the competition with the elder brother for the fruit. He was not successful when he became a renunciant without praying to him. Therefore, though he prayed to the lord vigneswarar before going to war, he forgot about it when he tried to woe valli. To show world how spoiling the desire can be it happened in this way. Many obstacles also came. Afterwards, after praying to lord vigneswarar, the lord subramanyar got victory in his attempt. Therefore, after that, for any act, before beginning that act, he would have performed prayer to the lord vigneswarar. There is no doubt about it.

 

Therefore, when we complete the 16 names of the lord vigneswarar, he is mentioned as the elder brother of the lord subramanyar who received all the blessings from the lord as mentioned the closing sentence.
